There is nothing wrong with a landlord wanting to change tenants it is HIS ground. Just be up front about it. I would tell the Uncle and the Nephew what you are unhappy about and tell them that this harvest is the last of the original rental. Just be FIRM and tell them this harvest is IT!!! Then follow up with a certified letter spelling out that your terminating the rental agreement. I do not know what state you live in but some state like Iowa have specific laws on farm ground rentals. Here is a short over view of how it works in Iowa.

"A farm lease automatically continues from year to year unless a notice of termination is given by either party. Under Iowa law, the lease termination notice must be properly served by September 1, prior to the end of the lease year. The termination notice must fix the termination of the tenancy to take place on the following March 1. If notice is not served, the lease continues for another crop year upon the same conditions as the original lease."

Then after you have notified the current tenant pick your next tenant how ever you want to. Advertise, hire a land management out fits that handle it all and take bids on the rent, or how ever you want to find the next tenant. In my eyes if you tell the current fellow and then switch tenants there is nothing wrong in that.

I would recommend that you have a written contract that spells out some things. A real common one here is that the land can NOT be sub-rented out to another party. That is what you have going on right now. You can spell out whatever you want in that contract. My sons have one farm they rent that they can not do ANY work after 8 PM at night. The fellow works a job where he has to get up at 3:30 AM and he goes to bed early. They are fine with that as they knew it before they rented the farm and he explained why it was IMPORTANT TO HIM. That is the key. Make sure your tenant KNOWs what is important to you. An example of this is messy looking fields. Some would not care but to you it seems like they bother you. (I am the same way. So I am not throwing rocks)

So rather than be unhappy with your current tenant clear the deck and start over if that is what you really want. Even if you would KEEP the current fellows I would make a written contract with the actual guy doing the farming.
